Ami every one of them held u poor opinion of Fritz as n fighting man. They were unanimous, tho attache de clared. In stating that the Germans were long-dlstanco fighters only. As one ot them said: "They are not so bad when they are 50 yards away with a machine gun, but at close quarters the German soldiers are no good." Marine after marine assorted that when he and his comrades got Into ac tual fighting contact with tho enemy there was no fisht left In him. Then the Germans would throw down their guns, and, waving their hands over their heads, cry out "Kameradl" Feel Contempt for Huns. "Our men," added the attache, "gave me the Impression of looking with ut ter contempt upon the German soldiers, who can fight only when they feel that they have the protection o artillery and-gas, and surrender when It comes to hand to hnnd fighting. "Far from feeling the slightest dread of the enemy, every man expressed eagerness to get out of hospltnl and return to the front. Every one of them wanted n chance of getting even with the Germans for hnvlng been gassed or wounded. "The men were Justly proud of the record that the marines had made, and their morale appeared to be of the very highest quality. The cheerful ness of all, Including some Infantry In the wards, may be summarized by the remark of one recovering from gas: 'Why,' ho said, 'there's nothing In It. When all of us marines get going, wo will wipe Fritz off tho map, and we will eat our next Christmas dinner at home at that'" A British officer who has seen much of the American marines nt their head quarters In France, and seen them at work against the Boche, writing on what he describes as "an instructive glimpse at the American war spirit nnd American efficiency in the field," says: "On tho roads to the front there Is perpetual movement Ilundreds of mo tor lorries, each ono packed with French soldiers, pass us in quick suc cession on their way to another part of tho line. Again and again we pass bodies of American troops on the march, then a group of women and .children.

We leave the farm under the guidance of a young lieu tenant, a 'broth of a boy,' with tho foco of n Greek god. "A rough cart track runs behind n belt of woods, and in this vicinity tins American artillery Is stationed. Wo approach one of the batteries, well hid den even at close quarters. A tele phone fixed to n tree trunk rings sharp ly, and the captain, topless and with nut tunic, a megaphone In one hand, answers the cull. " 'Very good, sir I' lie swings 'round to the guns.

"It is real team work, this gunnery, nothing else describes It the work of a team, perfectly trained, In which keenness and efficiency produce a re sult beyond praise. For a time salvo follows salvo.
